We all know that this subforum is filled with heated arguments at times. Lots of mudslinging occurs. Politics and religion tend to be a big part of a person's identity and it is because of this that attacks on our ideology and spirituality seem more personal. But all of us are more than just our religion or our political beliefs. For one, there is the football fandom, which being that there are some competing interests with that on the board.
Anyway, I had this reminder, today, thanks to The MeatEater Podcast. They had Tucker Carlson on because he was out in Montana for a fly fishing trip. Now, Tucker was targeted by someone in a fly shop, recently, and that video made the rounds on social media. I, personally, agree with the guy who berated Tucker, although maybe not with his methods. But in hearing him talk with the folks at MeatEater, I couldn't help but feel like I could spend the day swinging wet flies for brook trout with him in the Appalachian Mountains (even if he pronounced Appalachia wrong).
I am honestly still conflicted about all of this because, let's be clear, Tucker spreads a lot of misinformation, but he and I can definitely agree on many things.
